Application filed December 6, 1912. Serial No. 735,273.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, Annie L. BOHER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Stormproof Veils, ofwhich the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a stormproof veil or head covering; and hasfor its object to provide an article of this character that is moreespecially intended for the protec tion of hats and at the same timepresent an appearance similar to that of an ordinary veil.

Many valuable hats are damaged and often entirely ruined when the weareris caught out in a sudden shower or storm without being provided withconvenient means for protecting a hat or other headwear.

The figure in the drawing is a plan embodying the improved features.

A represents the veil part proper which may be of the usual open workfabric or material. The middle part B may be composed of any suitablewaterproof cloth or rubber fabric that will best serve the purpose. Theborder C may be composed of any suitable material the same as thebalance of the veil, or made plain or of an ornamental design.

The design shown in the drawing is used as illustrating one form orpattern of the invention; so that it will be understood that thedimensions, relative proportions and arrangement of the several partsmay be changed as practical workings may require.

The central part or waterproof section B,

set in the body of the veil, will be of such dimensions as to properlycover a hat, leavmg the veiling ends or parts to be draped to presentthe dressy efiect of the ordinary veil. The veiling fabric may be madeto cover the inset waterproof part if so desired.

The article can be folded up compactly and carried in a handbag or otherreceptacle ready for convenient use.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is- 1. As a new articleof manufacture, a veil provided with a stormproof part or section set inthe body of the veil.

2. [is a new article of manufacture, a veil composed of part veilingfabric, and a stormproof fabric section.

3. A veil provided with a stormproof part or section.

4. A veil, having its respective ends composed of veiling fabricconnected by an insert part composed of a stormproof fabric.

in testimony whereof I aiiix my signa' ture in presence of twowitnesses.
